Description
This Easy Low Carb Taco Casserole delivers all the bold, zesty flavors of a traditional taco night without the high-carb burden of corn shells or flour tortillas. You will experience a perfect harmony of seasoned ground beef, melted sharp cheddar, and crisp vegetable garnishes in every single bite.
Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs Ground Beef (80/20 Lean-to-Fat)
1/2 cup Yellow Onion (Diced)
3 tbsp Taco Seasoning (Sugar-Free)
4 oz Green Chilies (Canned)
4 oz Cream Cheese (Full Fat)
1/2 cup Sour Cream
2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)
2 units Large Eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and onions over medium-high heat until the beef reaches 160°F and onions are translucent
- Drain excess fat from the skillet, leaving about one tablespoon, and stir in taco seasoning and green chilies
- Reduce heat to low, then stir in softened cream cheese and sour cream until combined
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and slowly mix them into the beef mixture
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, smooth the top, and evenly sprinkle with cheddar cheese
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden-brow
- Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the proteins to set
